The U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS) awarded a $1,128,208 Jobs for Veterans State Grants (CFDA 17.801) formula grant to the State of Idaho Department of Labor. This grant supports the Disabled Veterans Outreach Program (DVOP) specialist position, Local Veterans Employment Representative (LVER) staff, and consolidated staff in American Job Centers across Idaho.
The DVOP specialists provide individualized career services to veterans with significant barriers to employment, with a focus on economically or educationally disadvantaged veterans, homeless veterans, and veterans with other employment barriers. The LVER staff conduct outreach to employers and business associations to increase employment opportunities for veterans, including advocating for the hiring of disabled veterans. The consolidated staff serve in a dual role as both DVOP and LVER. This grant-funded staffing and programming aims to prepare veterans and transitioning service members for meaningful careers, provide them with employment resources and expertise, and promote their employment opportunities.
